Red Dead Redemption 2

It’s the same old Rockstar formula of having you travel back and forth over the map just to do a normal mission and falls short of giving the cowboy fantasy everyone touts it as being. They added enough detail that your horse’s balls shrink in the cold but made it so easy to get money that whilst your merry band of outlaws are complaining about how little they have, I struggled to find more things to buy with immense hoards of cash. And the bounty system doesn’t work. And the multiplayer was total ass. And part way through the fantastical cowboy simulator, it adds goofy sidequests of time travel and robots. Rockstar couldn’t decide what to make the game so they tried to make it everything, leaving it lacklustre.

It’s very easy, if a game doesn’t have invasive data thieving anticheat, then it will run on Linux, otherwise it won’t.

Can you be clearer about this? The majority of games I play on PC are online multiplayer.

So I’d need to check that site for every game I want to play? Presumably if there isn’t a user report for whatever distro I’m using (how do you go about choosing one? Guessing from your comment that some work better with certain components than others) the only option is to buy the game in the hope of it working whilst preparing for X hours of faffing about to get it to work?

Protondb also looks to be focused on Steam, I’m guessing it’s like MacOS where if it’s a game not on Steam then you’re shit out of luck if there isn’t a Linux specific version?

Gaming on Linux is better than it ever has been, but there are some games that just won’t run on Linux.

Is there any way of telling which ones will and won’t run on Linux? How does running them on Linux differ from Windows?

Avoid Nvidia graphics due to driver complexities.

Well, I’m fucked if that’s the case as both my machines have Nvidia GPUs.

So you also like it? You disagree with everything I said… including the part where I said I don’t like it? It sounds like you just want to be antagonistic.

If you’re deliberately misinterpreting what they said like that, you’re the one being antagonistic.

I think more people, myself included, would be willing to consider Linux we weren’t met with people being complete assholes when asking for help or direction.

As ever, no negative consequences at all for Discord.

They’re not but there’s no recourse for it.

A major roadblock would be making it user friendly enough for the average person to be able to use it as well as an online help community that doesn’t treat newcomers like shit.

These ads for VPNs are starting to get over the top.

‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

What’s infuriating about this is there already exists forms of ID to verify your right to work in the UK and people employing people without the documentation to prove their right to work in the UK don’t give a shit whether they have the correct documentation.

This is a complete waste of time and money which can be better spent elsewhere.

The United States meddling in the affairs of South American countries? What an entirely precedented state of affairs.

Hang on, so I need to upload government ID and/or a selfie in order to access “adult material” in order to protect kids but Meta trying to bait men with pictures of girls under the age of consent is perfectly fine? What the fuck is happening?

Valve should absolutely be doing more to fix their mistake.

That’s definitely not the norm for indie devs on Steam. They are heavily reliant on wishlists because it automatically notifies when the game is released and on sale; it’s why the call to action for indie games is to wishlist it.

Simply bully your friends into having weekly mandated game time.

Shocked that they haven’t already had ads.

Has anyone used a smart fridge? I’m struggling to think of what features I’d actually end up using.

SOLD!

(Dare I even ask what happened?)

I love playing big, involved boardgames and their designs are fantastic but trying to teach it to someone and do all of the admin of resolving moves can make it feel like a chore.

For example, I’ve played Nemesis precisely once. It took HOURS to get through because of learning all the rules etc. Loved it, love the design, would be freakin’ perfect if there was a digital version which automates the faff.
